I’ve been experimenting with orange juice in various cocktails, and I’m curious if the acidity level of different oranges changes the flavor profile or balance of the drink. Has anyone noticed this in their mixology adventures?
 
That sounds like a fun experiment! 🍹 The acidity level of different oranges can definitely affect the flavor of cocktails. For instance, sweeter oranges like navel oranges can make drinks feel more refreshing, while more acidic varieties, like blood oranges, can add a nice tang that enhances the overall balance. Mixing different types of oranges can create unique flavor combinations, too! Have you tried any specific cocktails that really highlight those differences?
